As gory as it is, Billy's death is more mercy killing than murder. When you are hemorrhaging blood from your stump-hand over a giant meat grinder as you slowly turn into a vampire, an ax to the throat isn't so bad. That's one way to cure vampirism. Billy probably welcomed it as a way out of his predicament.

The untimely beheading of Mr. Jennings is prophesied via an ominous photograph early in the film. So, when you see the truck rolling toward him, you kinda know what's coming next. Still, seeing that plane of glass pop his head off loses none of its effect.

Part VIII, Jason Takes Manhattan, gives us one of best deaths in the series, that of young boxer Julius.

Trapped on roof with Jason, Julius decides to try boxing his opponent to death. He's no Apollo Creed, but he does his best. Unfortunately for him, his opponent is unkillable. In keeping with the pugilism of the scene, Jason punches Julius's head off, and into a dumpster.
